Tsitsikamma National Park, National park in Eastern Cape, South Africa

The park stretches along 80 kilometers of rocky coastline, featuring deep river gorges, temperate forests, and marine environments extending 5 kilometers into the Indian Ocean.

Established in 1964, Tsitsikamma became Africa's first marine national park, marking a significant advancement in coastal ecosystem protection on the continent.

The name originates from Khoisan language meaning 'place of much water', reflecting the indigenous peoples' connection to the region's abundant water resources.

Two main rest camps at Storms River Mouth and Natures Valley provide accommodations for visitors exploring the hiking trails and engaging in water activities.

The park contains the Bloukrans Bridge, where visitors can experience a 216-meter bungee jump over the river gorge beneath.
